Summary

Rectus sheath haematoma is increasingly being seen in patients with anticoagulation therapy. Abdominal compartment syndrome
is a rare complication of rectus sheath haematoma with only two cases reported in literature. The authors report a case of
a young male who developed abdominal compartment syndrome from a rectus sheath haematoma secondary to anticoagulation therapy.
The case highlights the need for a surgical intervention in such exceptional cases.
